Do you have any of those collections yet? If so, how is the recording quality?*****
Being on a mission for, and under orders of a Grand Poobah, I had to make sure my procedures were without fault.
I have the BN issued CD "The Cat Walk". I put the Donald Byrd box set "The Cat Walk" in one CD player and the BN in another. All playing thru the same amp. I just clicked back and forth between the two. The only difference was the volume level of the two. I then switched the CDs around to see if the difference in volume was the CD players or the CD disc.
The Box set CD does play at a lower volume. Not different, just at a lower volume. When I adjusted the volume to match, there was no difference that I could detect. I concentrated on the 'nuances'.
Keep in mind, I cannot hear the difference between wire, or cable lifters, or fuses, or gold painted bricks on my CD player, or between two amps of the same make and model. I also have never even considered my ceiling as a barrier to good sound. I understand they do blow the notes around. IBM told me tubes were distortion and noise generators. Same with LPs.
Please read this post with those personal handicaps in mind.
10 complete LPs for 19.98.
